The light from the light source (Xenon lamp) is reflected by a document and passed through three mirrors and reduction lenses to the CCD element
(image sensor) where images are formed. This system is known as the reduction image sensor system. Photo energy on the CCD element is
converted into electrical signals (analog signals). (Photo-electric conversion). The output signals (analog signals) are converted into digital signals
(A/D conversion) and passed to the MCU (main control/image process section). The resolution at that time is 400dpi. The mirror unit in the scanner
section is driven by the mirror motor. The MHPS is provided to detect the home position of the copy lamp unit.

gradually against possible power loss.
<2> Basic function
Normally, the developing bias voltage is retained for a certain time
before the drum comes to a complete stop if the machine should stop
before completing the normal print cycle. The developing bias can be
added before resuming the operation after an abnormal interruption.
Therefore, carrier will not make a deposit on the drum surface.

potential can be maintained at a stable level.
b. Process controlling
<1> Function
The print pattern signal is converted into an invisible image by the
semiconductor laser using negative to positive (reversible) developing
method. Therefore, if the developing bias is added before the drum is
charged, toner is attracted onto the drum. If the developing bias is not
added when the drum is charged, the carrier is attracted to the drum
because of the strong electrostatic force of the drum.
To avoid this, the process is controlled by adjusting the drum poten-
tial and the grid potential of the Scorotron charger.

Voltage added to the screen grid can be selected, high and low.

a. Outline
Fig. 4 shows the block diagram of the ASIC.
The ASIC is composed of the following three blocks; the image process section, the print control section, and the I/F section.
The image process section processes the image data from the CCD PWB according to the operation mode, such as shading, AE process,
resolution conversion. and zooming.
The print control section outputs the image-processed data during copying to the LSU (Laser unit) in synchronization with writing timing of the LSU.
The I/F section controls communication of interface (IEEE1284) with the host PC and controls DRAM of send/receive data buffer with the host PC.
(Only for models with the printer function)
The ASIC is controlled by the CPU which writes the operation mode and the set values necessary for each operation mode to the ASIC control

(5) Reset circuit

This circuit detects ON/OFF of power to control start/stop of each circuit. The 5V voltage of the main PWB is detected by the reset IC to generate
the reset signal.
When the power voltage reaches the specified level, the circuit operations are started. Before the power voltage falls below the specified level, the
circuit operations are stopped to prevent against malfunctions.
(6) Main motor drive circuit

The main motor is driven by the MMD signal from ASIC. While the main motor is rotating, the MMD signal is driven to HIGH and passed through
IC35 to the control circuit in the main motor to rotate the main motor. The /MMRDY signal is kept HIGH until the main motor speed reaches the
specified rpm, and passed to the CPU.
(7) Mirror motor circuit

The mirror motor is a stepping motor, and it uses the IC29 and the constant current chopper control IC (SLA7027). For control, the CPU outputs the
drive signal to the IC29 to drive the mirror motor with 1-2 phase excitement.

AR-161
(8) Toner supply motor drive circuit

The IC31 is the motor control IC, which generates the pseudo AC waveform with the pulse signals (TM, TM-) outputted from ASIC, driving the toner
supply motor.
3. CCD PWB
The CCD PWB is provided with the CCD (Charge-Coupled Device), the differential amplifier which amplifies image signals, and the AD convertor
which converts the amplified image signals into digital signals.
The DC power and the pulse supply pins necessary for operating the CCD image sensor are the power source (CD pin), GND (SS pin), shift pulse
(SH pin), transfer pulse ( 1 pin), ( 2 pin), reset pulse (/RS pin), clamp pulse (/CP pin), and sampling (/SP pin).
Photo data are stored in the light receiving element at the center of the CCD by the SH signal. Even number pixel data are sent to one of the two
shift registers which are positioned at both ends of the light receiving element, and odd number pixel data are sent to the other shift register. The
time interval between inputting two SH signals is called the photo accumulation time.
The signals are transfered to the register, then to the shift register sequentially by transfer pulses 1 and 2 and to the floating capacitor section
where electric signals are voltage-converted. Electric charges from the even number pixel shift register and the odd number pixel shift register are
flowed to the floating capacitor section alternatively.
The /RS signal is the reset signal of the CCD output signal. The CCD output is expressed as electric charges equivalently accumulated in the
capacitor. Therefore, to take the CCD output data one pixel by one pixel, one output data must be cleared after it is outputted. The /RS signal is
used for that operation.
The /SP pulse signal is the peak hold signal of the signal voltage.
The output signal from the CCD is amplified by about 4.7 times greater in the differential amplifier circuit in the CCD PWB.
Differential amplification is made for the signal output (OS) and the compensation output (DOS).
The amplified CCD signal output is sent to the clamp circuit. In the clamp circuit, the black level is clamped to 2V at the BCLK signal timing by the
analog switch. The clamped voltage is maintained for one line by the coupling capacitor. The clamped analog signal is impedance-converted and
inputted to the AD convertor.
The analog signal inputted to the AD convertor is converted into 8bit digital data and passed to the PCU PWB.
The machine employs the TCD1501C as the image sensor. The TCD1501C is the reduction type high sensitivity CCD linear sensor of one-output
system. 5000 pixels of 7um x 7um are arranged in line to allow scanning of A3 document at 400dpi (16 lines/mm).
